Take the polyethylene bag out of the tank.
NOTE:
Take the polyethylene bag carefully out of the tank
•
so that the polyethylene bag cannot be caught and
torn by the protrusion inside the tank when
emptying it.
Empty the polyethylene bag before it becomes full.
•
Too much dust in the tank may cause the
polyethylene bag to be torn.
Connecting a hose
CAUTION:
Never force the hose for bending or stamp it.
•
Never move the cleaner by a hose. Forcing,
stamping and pulling the hose may cause a
breakage or deformation of the hose.
When picking up large wastes such as planer
•
carvings, concrete dusts or similar other than small
wastes, use the 38 mm inner diameter hose (optional
accessory). Using the 28 mm inner diameter hose
may cause a hose stuffing and damage.
Always put the cap on the mounting port whenever
•
you remove the hose from the tool.

Remove the cap from the mounting port. You can place
the cap in multi hook while the hose is connected to the

OPERATION

WARNING:
Always use a P2-respirator.
•
CAUTION:
If foam or liquid escapes from the tool, switch off
•
immediately. Continuing to using in this condition
may cause an electric shock and breakage of the
cleaner.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING:
Always use a P2-respirator during performing
•
maintenance.
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
•
unplugged before attempting to perform inspection
or maintenance.
Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or
•
the like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may
result.
A technical inspection, including inspection of
•
filters, air tightness, and control mechanism, must
be performed at least once a year by an instructed
person.
During maintenance, all contaminated items which
•
cannot be satisfactorily cleaned must be disposed.
Such items must be disposed of in impervious
hags which accord with your country's regulations.
After the operation in the hazardous area, the
•
outside of the tool must be decontaminated by
vacuum cleaning methods and wiped clean or
treated with sealant before you take the tool out of
a hazardous area. All the parts of the tool must be
regarded as contaminated when removed from the
hazardous area, and appropriate action must be
taken to prevent dust dispersal.
Change the air filter when the air filter is clogged
•
with dust or
performance declined.
Check the filters periodically. If there is a tear on it,
•
replace it immediately.
Removing the air filter
CAUTION:
Wait for about 5 minutes so that dust in the tank
•
completely settles down.
Make sure that the tool is unplugged.
•
Be careful not to let the dust enter inside the tank
•
cover when removing the air filter.
